Thruk is an open-source web-based monitoring interface that supports multiple backends like Nagios, Icinga, Shinken, and Naemon. Thruk provides an easy-to-use, modern user interface that simplifies monitoring tasks, making it ideal for system administrators.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Thruk on OpenSUSE latest.
Before you begin with the installation process, make sure you have the following requirements:
First, we need to install the required dependencies before we can install Thruk. Open your terminal and type the following command:
sudo zypper install -y apache2-devel gcc git make perl-JSON-PP perl-Compress-Zlib perl-CGI perl-CGI-Fast
This command will install Apache2, as well as the necessary development libraries, Git, make, Perl modules, and dependencies required by Thruk.
Now, we can proceed with the installation of Thruk. Follow the below steps to install Thruk:
Start with cloning the Thruk repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/thruk/thruk.git
Enter the previously cloned directory:
cd thruk
Now, run the following commands:
sudo ./install.sh --all
This command will build and install all required components, including the Thruk web interface.
Now we can start the Thruk service to ensure everything works correctly:
sudo systemctl start thruk.service
Check the status of the Thruk service:
sudo systemctl status thruk.service
If the status shows 'running,' then Thruk is successfully installed.
Thruk is now installed and can be accessed using a web browser:
http://your-server-ip/thruk/
You will see the Thruk login screen. Enter your credentials (default: admin/admin) and log in to view the Thruk dashboard.
In this guide, we successfully installed Thruk on OpenSUSE Latest. Now you can use Thruk to manage your monitoring tasks with a user-friendly, easy-to-use interface.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
